Fishhawk Glacier lies in Wyoming’s Absaroka Range within Shoshone National Forest, on the northeast slope of Overlook Mountain, which reaches 11,869 feet. Its importance rests not on great size but on rarity: only a few glaciers exist in the Absaroka Range. Fishhawk Glacier therefore stands out as part of the small remaining glacier presence in this rugged volcanic mountain chain, making it a notable feature of both the mountain’s high slopes and the broader landscape of the range.
